In this way, Nebula became acquainted with the slave named Lokith next door, and Nebula would give Lokis two pieces of bread every night at Lokis's request, and Lokis would tell Nebula some interesting stories as a reward.

Gradually, the two began to get acquainted

After another period of time, one child after another was released out of the cell, much to the dismay of Nebula, who had been longing for freedom.

Even though Nebula had eaten a lot of food every day, no other child had grown fat, and every time the guards came to pick and choose, they always picked out the fattest looking child.

Just when Nebula was trying to work hard for his fattening plan, a sudden news caught Nebula off guard and was at a loss

One night, Nebula handed the bread to Lokis as usual, and when he was about to listen to Lokis' story, Lokis looked back twice on the opposite side of the brick wall, and said to Nebula in a very low voice: "Hey~~ Little Star!" Come over a little bit, put your ears together, I have something important to say to you! ”

Nebula leaned against the brick wall curiously, listening to the hollow of the brick wall.

"Don't eat any more food! Or you'll be eaten by the witch!! I was taken by the overseer to the vicinity of the mine's Keith Stone House today, and while carrying the stone chairs, I heard the voice of a little girl. Inside, she cried out loud, 'Don't eat me!' Don't eat me! And then there was no sound. After a while, I heard a terrible laugh that made my hair stand on end, and it was so terrible that it was so terrible that I still didn't dare to sleep. Rockis cautiously whispered advice to Nebula.

Nebula was so frightened that he almost cried after listening to what Lokis said, if it weren't for Lokis's comfort to Nebula right after, I'm afraid that the entire prison would have been woken up by Nebula's crying.

Nebula covered his mouth and red eyes, and his shoulders twitched and choked up at Lokis and asked, "Brother Lokis, what should I do then?" Keep eating, I'll be eaten by the witch, and if I don't, I'll starve to death! ”

"Little fool! Wouldn't it be better to eat as little as possible? Don't get full! Eat one piece a day no! I can only eat half a loaf of bread, and I'd rather be hungry than eat more!! Got it? Rockis said to Nebula repeatedly.

Nebula nodded and said to Lokis, "Brother Lokis, I know!" I'm going to tell you about it! ”

After hearing what Nebula said, Lokis was very anxious and scolded Nebula: "You are really stupid when you say you are stupid!" If you tell them about it, and they don't eat anymore, isn't it more likely that it will be your turn? ”

"But I don't want them to die! Doron, Cisse, and Capat are all good friends of mine! Nebula shook his head in response to Rockis.

Rockis helplessly held his forehead and persuaded Xingyun: "Then you will only tell you your best friends!" You don't want anyone else to know! ”

Nebula hesitated for a moment, shook his head and responded to Lokis, "I'm sorry, Brother Lokis! Julianne, Shanna, and Gus don't get along very well, but I still don't want to see them eaten by witches! ”

"Fool! You're a hopeless fool! I don't care about you anymore!! With that, Rockis, who was so angry that his face was red, stuffed the stone bricks into the hollow, and fell asleep.

Nebula kept thinking about what Lokis had said, and unconsciously fell asleep in a daze

The day after learning the news, Nebula told the news to all the children, including friends.

Among the more than 30 children, the introverted Nebula did not have many friends, and under Nebula's incoherent and stumbling explanations, the only people who unconditionally believed the news that Nebula said were only two good friends.

However, because Nebula really reduced his appetite after saying this news, only eating half a piece of bread and drinking a glass of water every day, this made those half-believing children can't help but gradually believe what Nebula said, and also follow Nebula to reduce their appetite.

When Gise knew, 'Will be eaten by a witch!' When this rumor had spread throughout the children's prison, Guise immediately went to the children's prison and asked the children who had spread the news.

Accompanied by the children's identification, Guise stared at Nebula viciously and said to him, "Good boy! How dare you lie on my turf!? What man-eating witch, have you seen it with your own eyes? I'm not welcome kids here who like to lie."

Gise clapped his hands and said to the guards guarding the door of the cell, "Guard, put this blue-haired imp in a small dark room for me!" Don't give him food!! ”

"Don't you want to eat? I want to see how dare you be so stubborn after starving you for a few days!? With that, Guise snorted coldly and swaggered out of the prison

★?????????????????? ★

The little black room that Guise refers to refers to the place where erring and disobedient slaves are held, and whenever there are uncontrollable or extremely uncooperative slaves, the guards will forcibly escort the slaves to the small black room.

The Little Black Room was a solid stone hut with no beds, no quilts, no other creatures, not even a lit confinement chamber.

There was nothing but cold stones, and endless darkness

After being locked in a small dark room, Nebula, who was afraid of black timidity, kept crying until he was so tired from crying that he fell asleep

However, this is just the beginning.

Due to the news spread by Nebula, coupled with Gis's vicious behavior that day, many children were convinced of Nebula's statement and began to gradually reduce their appetite.

This caused the silver-haired woman who came to Guise to collect the sacrifice every week to reprimand Guise again, and also slightly punished Guise for using the spirit entanglement of this low-level soul magic.

It took a great deal of effort for Guise, who had suffered at the silver-haired woman's place, to convince the children that the children who had gone out had been freed.

In order to appease the children, Guise also ordered Orlov to buy some candy and toys to reward the child who ate the most.

"Damn! If it weren't for that blue-haired imp! Will Lao Tzu have so many things? It's so bad that my head is still buzzing now!! By the way, you brought that blue-haired imp, right!? Keith complained to Olot.

Olot said flatteringly to Gith, "Lord Eggis, I really don't know where that blue-haired imp got the news. Isn't he already locked up in a dark room by you? Do you want me to interrogate him for you? ”

"Good! I'll leave it to you! It's up to you, but remember to take a breath, one more is better than one less. Keith waved his hand to Olot.

After receiving the order from Guise, Olot immediately retreated respectfully, and then swaggered towards the small black room where Nebula was held in front of the guards.

Shortly after Olote left, an overseer came to Guise's stone house and said that he had an urgent matter to see Guise.

"Lord Guise! I found a young man in rags and covered in blood near the railroad tracks deep in the mine, and it looked like he probably wouldn't live long! Would you like to check it out? The bearded overseer cautiously reported to Guise.

Ji Si immediately said extremely angrily to the overseer: "You still bother Lao Tzu with such a trivial matter? Wouldn't it be enough to throw it into that dead man's heap? Anyway, he didn't live long, wouldn't he die early or later!? ”

In normal times, slaves will also have a lot of dead people in the process of mining. Some of them died of exhaustion because of the heavy labor, some were beaten to death by the overseers, and some could not bear the dark days and tired days to kill themselves.

In short, no matter how they died, they would throw the corpses into a collapsed pit, which the overseers and mine guards called the Dead Man's Heap.

It is said that the number of dead people in the pile of dead men has exceeded 1,000, and due to the poor ventilation of the underground passages, the overseers and slaves can smell the faint smell of corpses coming from the side of the pile

"But the armor that the young man is wearing looks very valuable, and it's likely that he's an elite guard of the Gretel family or the Iris family." The overseer looked up slightly to see Guise's reaction, and continued to Guise with fear.

Guise hesitated for a moment, and then said to the overseer, "Then you can carry him to that little dark room first!" If he's still alive, I'll be able to confess to the family members who came to find him, and if he's dead, hum! Just use his corpse to scare and scare that damn blue-haired imp! Remember! You are not allowed to say this, you should be the only one who sees that young man!? ”

The overseer nodded to Keith quickly, and then retreated very respectfully at Guise's signal.

After the bearded overseer left, Guise stroked his chin and muttered, "Young man in rich armor!?" Are there such good young people in the Gretel and Iris families? Didn't a procession from the Holy Land pass through a few days ago? Isn't it! That's impossible! How could there be a monster in the mining area that wiped out the Holy Land team!? ”

"Wait! That silver-haired woman who looks like a witch and she uses black magic! Could it be that she gave the team of the Holy Land "Thinking of this, Guise couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If this is the case, the Holy Land will definitely come here to investigate, and if it is found out that he is related to the silver-haired woman who is suspected of being under the hands of the black magician, then he will not be dead?

Gith, who was sitting in the seat, began to bite the nail of his right thumb anxiously, and his feet kept shaking, looking extremely uneasy

(Uh-huh~~~ Have you guessed who the silver-haired woman is?) It's been very busy for a long time, so if you don't change it, just wait for tomorrow! Thank you Ozawa Zhou for your tip! ）
